That's exactly what IB told, but that is the last trading day, not the expiration day. I checked too on ECBOT and didn't notice any expiration date, but only the last trading day. Yes i agree it would be the trade of the century but i didn't buy at 1/64 in the money. I bought the options when ZB futures were trading at around 110 26/32. Well you probably be right. Thanks for the help.
Ah ok, i saw now, it says : Unexercised 30 Year US Treasury Bond futures options shall expire at 7:00 p.m. Chicago Time on the last day of trading I didn't see that, you are right. Thanks for all again. Bye.
O.K. Wall Street has its "preemptive rate cut" - to keep it in FED language. So what´s next ? Funny part of the story : yesterdays GDP figures. Imagine you´re reading newspapers in the U.S. ! Economy growing over 3.5 % and FED´s lowering rates in order to "stimulate" it ! Ha, ha, ha... Recalling good old days when treasury traders would have punished this kind of FED policy by massive decline in prices and not only a lousy couple of ticks...
It looks like the NFP release had a little leak! Someone thinks they will be better than expected. Maybe Beeks is involved? good trading! el surdo
Anyone understanding why the bond market is acting so bullish in the face of those #s? Lots of support.
Revisions mainly. The market needs confirmation on a large miss. There have been too many large revisions in the past year to really trust the #. Too much fear out there also.
We spiked to 114 12' and down a dollar, to be honest I sold 114 and just covered, so I am not really reading into it, but will later. Someone had the number at 8:20, why did it sell off 8 ticks prematurely and then spike up 20......I think Beeks had the wrong envelope. el surdo
